WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. August 23, 2007: White Plains police yesterday reported the death of Eugenio Ferrer, 53, of 76 South Lexington Avenue, as a suicide. Ferrer, police said, jumped from his apartment window. A note was found, police said. It was the second suicide in the city in two months.

There are a great number of resources available to the person who has gotten to the point where they feel they want to kill themselves in Westchester County.  The county operates a suicide hotline 24 hours a day, where you can talk to some one, that one last time to give you a tomorrow. That number is 914-347-6400. Write it down. And when the panic sets in call that number on your cellphone.

It is a Life Line, among the many services that exist to help persons who are driven to what drove those three persons in the last week to take their lives. Don't feel guilty. They are the last person left for you and you need to give them and yourself a chance.

If you know of someone who has reached that point, or feel they are in need of help with their personal situation, WPCNR suggests you contact the Westchester County Department of Mental Health Suicide/Crisis Hotline at (914)-347-6400.  A person on the edge can call 24 hours a day. You can call whether you are a friend, spouse, parent, relative of that person or a person in mental distress yourself.
